Chapter 171 – Ye Kuang Battles Three Innate Masters Alone

With no obstacles in his way, Ye Kuang’s figure instantly transformed into a blur, vanishing from the mountainside in the blink of an eye.

It could be said that he had cast aside all hesitation in his heart, his mind solely focused on Ling Yun, whose fate remained unknown.

However, it must be noted that no one else came to obstruct him along the way.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Just as Ye Kuang thought of this, the sound of thunderous war drums echoed through the air at the perfect moment.

Immediately after, two elderly figures leaped out from both sides of the mountain path.

Ye Kuang had initially intended to ignore them, but unexpectedly, a familiar face came charging toward him from the front.

Their speed was so swift that a triangular formation instantly materialized, trapping him firmly in the center.

The fierce and unrelenting force of their fists showed no intention of holding back, as they all unleashed the sharp and deadly “Eagle Claw Strike”!

At the sight, even Ye Kuang couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

He knew that if he chose to confront them head-on, he would gain no advantage.

But at this moment, he had no time to deliberate!

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, planting his feet firmly in a bow stance, his intent clear as day.

“Arrogant!”

“Seeking death!”

“Your life is forfeit!”

Three furious roars erupted one after another, instantly dispersing the swirling snow within a ten-meter radius.

Ye Kuang tilted his head, narrowly dodging a punch aimed at his face, then crossed his arms and simultaneously grabbed the fists coming from both sides.

In that split second, his movements were so swift that he seemed anything but a novice who had just entered the Empty Clarity realm—instead, he appeared even more formidable than seasoned Innates!

His footwork, however, was even faster and more ferocious. With flickering afterimages, he delivered three kicks in the blink of an eye.

Yet, despite this, his three opponents were no pushovers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, three muffled thunderclaps resonated along the mountain path, their deafening roar unmistakable.

Surprisingly, the three Elders managed to deflect the fierce force with nothing but their fists.

The four of them broke apart after the clash, their cold gazes locked on one another, the tension between them palpable.

Had it not been for the falling snow and the absence of any onlookers, the entire scene might have been mistaken for a dream.

“Yuan Jiahui, long time no see. And who are these two?”

“Yuan Fangyi!”

“Ma Fangqi!”

“Youngster, I never expected you to grow stronger. A pity we didn’t capture you by force that day,” Yuan Jiahui spat venomously.

“Hahaha…” Ye Kuang burst into wild laughter, but as his laughter faded, his expression turned cold and menacing. “Let’s not dwell on the past. The purpose of my visit today must have been long planned by you. Speak—what exactly do you want?”

No sooner had he spoken than the two Elders beside him could no longer contain their rage, as if provoked by his words, and they responded with icy retorts.

“Have you lost your mind? Someone like you isn’t even worthy!”

“Never mind that our Xingyi Sect has stood strong for years—with the three of us here, you won’t take another step forward!”

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Ye Kuang took the initiative and stepped forward. “What I despise most in my life is others looking down on me from above. Get down here!”

Ma Fangqi reacted instantly, throwing a “Cannon Blast” punch without a second thought.

Crack—Boom!

The two fierce, explosive forces collided without warning, disrupting the falling snow and sending it scattering in all directions.Instead, Ma Fangqi unexpectedly failed to withstand even a single exchange and was immediately sent tumbling into the Mountain Forest by Ye Kuang.

“Damn it!” At the same time, this inevitably caused Yuan Jiahui and Yuan Fangyi to pale, and they swiftly charged forward.

At that moment, sensing the incoming Vigorous Qi, Ye Kuang swiftly turned around, his fists already coiled like lightning, ready to strike.

In an instant, the three faced each other, their seemingly calm gazes concealing boundless ferocity.

Boom! Boom!

As two explosive sounds erupted, their deafening roar lingered incessantly in the air.

For a moment, even someone as powerful as Ye Kuang was forced to retreat repeatedly.

In contrast, Yuan Jiahui and Yuan Fangyi fared far worse, vomiting copious amounts of blood, their faces unable to conceal their shock.

After the two plunged into the Mountain Forest one after another, they failed to reappear for a long time.

Three breaths!

It was only after three breaths had passed.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang forcibly swallowed the metallic taste in his throat and continued climbing upward without even looking back.

“You little brat, don’t even think about reaching the summit!”

But who would have thought that, following these words, Ma Fangqi, who had earlier fallen into the Mountain Forest, suddenly leaped from the treetops, launching a surprise attack on Ye Kuang’s back.

It must be said that even before he arrived, the air was already filled with howling winds and thunderous roars.

Clearly, this strike was bound to be Earth-Shattering Shock!

Hearing this, Ye Kuang abruptly turned around, clasped his palms together, and forcefully extended his arms forward.

Twin Dragons Draw Water!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As their palms collided violently, the entire mountain peak reverberated with thunderous roars, disturbing the heavens.

The sheer force of the soundwaves pierced through the air, reaching as far as three miles away.

“Caw! Caw! Caw…”

At that moment, the birds in the Mountain Forest were startled into flapping their wings and soaring into the clouds.

Crack! Crack! Crack… Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Simultaneously, the mountain path where the two stood could no longer withstand the violent force, instantly shattering into a web of cracks, with debris flying in all directions.

Ye Kuang: “Old fool, if you dare to compete with me in Internal Energy, I’ll grant your wish!”

Then, his tone shifted abruptly, brimming with arrogance: “Break for me!”

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

It was as if a wildfire had ignited in his heart, and his boiling blood could no longer be restrained.

As the world within his Dantian began to run wild, it granted him invincible power.

Roar!

Following the rising tiger’s roar and dragon’s cry, the situation changed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Kuang’s face alternated between gold and crimson, with three feet of green smoke rising above his head, as he unleashed astonishing power.

Ma Fangqi’s eyes widened in shock, and blood uncontrollably streamed from his nose and mouth.

Soon after, it became apparent that Ma Fangqi had once again plunged into the Mountain Forest.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang withdrew his palms, settling his Qi into his Dantian, finally suppressing the surging rage in his heart.

It was only after he gradually disappeared along the mountain path that Yuan Jiahui and Yuan Fangyi simultaneously reappeared.

“Alas… Old Ma is probably done for,” Yuan Fangyi instinctively lamented.

Yuan Jiahui: “I never expected this kid to have become so powerful. Should we still pursue him?”

“Pursue what? Old Ma was on par with us. If he couldn’t handle that kid, what chance do we have?” Yuan Fangyi replied.

“Ah, forget it. We came as three, but now…” Yuan Jiahui couldn’t help but curse under his breath before pulling out his phone to report the latest developments.

After putting away the phone, Yuan Jiahui took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go. We can’t just leave Old Ma out here in the freezing cold, not knowing whether he’s alive or dead.”
